　In the latter half of November, the street corners of Ginza were gorgeous illuminations and windows and displays of each shop, and it was a season when the heart was excited.

Santa is coming to the city.　A song that comes on a sleigh led by a reindeer strokes his ears.

Currently, Ginza is holding a fun project for 2018WinterSeason.

One of them is Window Display, which each store develops with elaborate tastes.　

Kotoshi enjoys a walk in Ginza with a feeling of healing by the animals talking to at the large windows of each store. We enjoyed strolling around the street corner of Ginza 5-chome.

Please enjoy Christmas in Ginza.

　I found pretty flowers on the planting under the Kyobashi highway.　

The petals resemble Taiwan grayheaded cuckoo, and the leaves are exactly the same, so I thought it was a flower called "White grayheaded cuckoo".　When I went to an exhibition of botanical art held at Hibiya Park and asked a teacher familiar with flowers, it was said that a flower called "Shirohototogis" appeared in a horticultural species.

　When I looked at the photo, I was glad that he told me that it was probably "Shirohototogis".

The cherry blossoms are blooming next to it.　Please enjoy it during the walk.

Reply: "Shirohotogis" is a plant belonging to the grayheaded cuckoo family Lilyaceae.

　Visiting Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, I found a sake called "Shinkawa Ichibansen" in the dedicated Komo barrel, and found that there was a sake called "Shinkawa Ichibansen".

I went to the nearest liquor store, Imada Shoten from grand shrine.　"Shinkawa No. 1 Ship" was sold in Ichisho bottle.

I'm not confident that I could empty a bottle by myself, so when I looked for a sake of four bottles (720ml), I recommended a sake called "Sohana".　In the Edo period, you can see the scenery where young sake arrived from above by barrel boat.

I went to Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine to visit.

When I entered the precincts, a lot of sake barrels were dedicated to the left.　This is the first time I see. A barrel of sake called Shinkawa No. 1 ship was also dedicated.

There was an explanation about Komono barrel.

The explanation is as follows.

"Consecration Sake Komono barrel

　During the Edo period, Shinkawa prospered as a wholesaler of "downhill sake", which was introduced to Edo from the upper part of sake (sake), a famous brewery. Founded here in Kanei 2 (1625), Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine has been revered as a guardian deity for sake wholesalers and sake brewers.　At that time, sake was packed in wooden barrels to Edo and transported by a special barrel boat, but it is said that the beginning of Komokan (Komo barrel) was wrapped around Komono to prevent damage to the barrel. You.　In order to distinguish it from other brands, Komono was designed to represent the characteristics of each brand.　The Komo barrels (Nito barrel = 36L) piled up here were donated by Keijinkai members who have been connected to Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine for many years, as well as religious breweries from all over the country. is. I would like to thank the people who consecrated us and wish that the industries responsible for the traditional food culture of Japan, including the alcoholic beverage industry, will be more and more prosperous.

On the website of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, you can see the picture of "Shinshuban Funae To Shinkawa Iritsuzu". http://shinkawadaijingu.or.jp/gallery/gallery1/shinshubanwsen/

　Next time, I will go to find the sake that is dedicated.
